Very much agree, my expectation is that things are likely to deteriorate in the western world in the short term, but the rest of the planet will move on. And good news is that Europe is very much deindustrialized at this point, so right wing taking charge isn’t going to have much to work with.
Yes, the Global South will probably see massive improvements in living standards in the next few decades as they begin to ally more with China and leave the empire behind
As for the rest, yeah. The Capitalist/Imperialist Bloc just isn’t in the same position as it was in the 1st Cold War.
I want to move to China but at the same time I also wanna stay here for when the time comes. Still conflicted on this one, because I’m definitely not planning to die on a war to line up the pockets of some rich bastard
I definitely want to bail to China myself, and already started low key learning Mandarin for when the time comes. The main reason I stay here is honestly to take care of my parents who are old and have no interest of moving anywhere. Otherwise, I probably would’ve moved already.
Same, i am bound by blood to my country but there is not much else keeping me here. Regardless, its a good idea to learn mandarin since that opens up the possibility of engaging with a shit ton more of people.
I’m both excited and somewhat fearful, unfortunately. The militarization of Europe and the increase of pro-Fascist sentiment is extremely worrying.
But as Lenin would say, “there are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen”.

That’s what I figure, it’s clearly a very useful language to know regardless where I’m living.
